    Aviary Sand

    Hi All, I currently have three (3) aviaries that I'm looking to re-design with 2" of gravel/pea stone on the bottom topped with 2"-4" of sand. From what I've been reading this sounds like the best solution for controlling mud and adding a nice look to the aviary. The only thing I'm missing...

    Too much or too little humidity?

    Sounds like your humidity levels were a bit high. Rule of thumb, imho, if your worried about humidity...less is better.

    Questions about my Swedish Ducks

    Hi Amber, I've never heard about Sweeds being sex'd by bill colour. You might be getting that confused with another breed, such as Welsh Harlequin. Welsh's can be sex'd by bill colour with a high level of accuracy. Darker bills mean a male and lighter bills ending in a dark spot are...

    Greenhouse Hoops - Spacing Question!

    1lpoock & giffy - What size lumber did you use for your base? and how tall? Giffy's looks like he used 2x4's...but then it looks like a 2x6 on-top. Not sure if that stayed or not. I'm guess it was just for leveling or something. I've seen other designs that use a 2x4 on the bottom, plywood...

    Greenhouse Hoops - Spacing Question!

    giffy - very nice! I hope that is what ours will look like when completed. 1lpoock - Yes of course?. My interest isn't so much into breeding as it is just for having them around as a hobby. We have several breeding pens already created for those pairs we wish to breed. They are the typical...

    Greenhouse Hoops - Spacing Question!

    I think that was it We are planning on putting in our call ducks, (Snowy, Grey, Pastel, White, ect...) a pair of Indies and some future wild ducks (ie. Wood, Mand.,). So if I were to keep it at 6ft spacing it would be 14ft wide by 60ft long. Or break it up into two.
